Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

This kinda makes sense because you're going down in the playlist... But other cars use left and right ๐Ÿคท

Hyundais other cars use up. Even their other brands like Kia use up. It makes no sense.

Up makes less sense to me. If I'm going to the next item, why would I be going up? Next should be either down or right, consistent with how we read in English (to the right, then down) and consistent with playlists in media player apps (and YouTube, etc)

I guess using up for next is so it's consistent with volume, where up actually makes sense?

Media players have always used left for previous track and right for next track, so it's frustrating when UI designs try to change that.
